RE: John Smith, Slate Hillhow interesting! may I add that information to the list of children?The St James listing here on FindAGrave is incomplete, unfortunately... he may be there or in the Everett (aka Denton) family cemetery about 1 mile from St James cemetery.

RE: Braddock L'Hommedieu, Wallkillyes! you are quite right. I was at OCGS this morning and found very little on l'Hommedieu but what I found was soooo relevant! In the book "Vail and Armstrong Lineage" there is a short chapter (4 1/2 pages) on l'Hommedieu. I will update memorial entries to reflect this new found info. Unfortunately, I did not find a Sarah but will keep my eyes open for further references.thanks very much!

RE: Braddock L'Hommedieu, WallkillDo you think they're the same Johns? I believe this family were Methodists... If you have evidence that I've incorrectly given lineage, I'll be happy to correct.

sources included L'Hommedieu genealogy, Volume 2 as well as longislandsurnames.com. I will double-check vol 2 next time I'm Orange County Genealogy Society.

I did find these pieces online: (from Vol2) - p626. Oct 31, 1818 baptism of Arminda, Mary Gale, Braddock, children of John L'Hommedieu and Dolly his wifep 655. Lois, Dorothy and Julia Ann Vail, sisters, married Braddock, John and Hudson, brothers. They were daughters of Joseph Alexander Vail...
